Shopping

Discover the genuine fabric of the community through uniquely curated shopping experiences. You’ll find boutiques and specialty shops, antiques, and artisans in the historic villages that line the Erie Canal and on charming Main Streets of our small towns. Or head to “The Avenues”—Park, Monroe, and University, where each street presents a distinctive combination of shops, cafés, restaurants, pocket parks, art galleries, and architecture. 

A quintessentially Rochester shopping experience awaits at the Record Archive. Not only will you find the most extensive collection of vinyl in the Northeast with more than 250,000 new and vintage vinyl, but you’ll also find unique Rochester-themed art and gifts, vintage clothing and furniture, pop culture, and more. Are you looking for beautiful home décor and one-of-a-kind gifts? Look no further than A Horse with Wings. Their focus on improbable beautiful things includes Shabby Chic and Farmhouse Style lighting, furniture, artwear, and jewelry. 

Gift shops at local museums and attractions offer incredible one-of-a-kind treasures and beautiful souvenirs. A staple of the community, the Rochester Public Market has been serving up fresh food and produce, ethnic delicacies, and specialty items for more than 100 years, every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Don’t miss special themed events on various Sundays throughout the year, including “Holidays at the Market,” “Homegrown at the Market,” and more.

Brand names and traditional retail experiences await at one of several area malls, including the upscale Eastview Mall in neighboring Victor, the Mall at Greece Ridge in Greece, Marketplace Mall in Henrietta, and Pittsford Plaza.
